45) For the first time, positive identification can now be made from
sperm and hair as a result of DNA typing. If sperm is not present,
another test may be conducted to test for semen. This test is called an
acid phosphatase test. Acid phosphatase is an enzyme in the liquid
portion of the semen.

46) In the interviews of 133 convicted rapists, 50 admitted some sexual
dysfunction. Twenty-three of the rapists stated that they were unable to
achieve an orgasm during the sex act; twenty-two experienced difficulty
in achieving and sustaining an erection (impotency); and five
experienced premature ejaculation.
47) Particulates: Condom manufacturers add finely powdered
particulates to prevent a rolled-up latex condom from sticking to itself.
Particulates found in different brands include cornstarch, potato starch,
lycopodium (a powder found in plants), as well as amorphous silica,
talc, or other minerals. In the laboratory, forensic scientists use several
different techniques to characterize these particles and compare them
with those obtained from other condom brands.
Lubricants: Sexual assailants prefer lubricated condoms, probably for
the same reason they use petroleum jelly—that is, to help facilitate their
crimes. Many condom brands contain a liquid lubricant, which may be
classified as either "wet" or "dry." Both types of condom lubricant have
an oillike consistency, but wet lubricants are water-based and/or water-
soluble, whereas dry lubricants are not. Although many different
manufacturers use the same dry lubricant, the viscosity grades
sometimes differ. The forensic laboratory can recover these silicone oils
easily from items of evidence and possibly associate them with a
condom manufacturer. Wet lubricants may contain either polyethylene
glycol or a gel made from a combination of ingredients similar to those
found in vaginal lubricants. Forensic examination can associate specific
formulations with particular condom brands, despite their similarities to
other products on the market.
Spermicide: Both wet and dry lubricated condoms may also contain the
spermicide nonoxynol-9. Its recovery and detection along with lubricant
ingredients in particular can help show condom use and indicate the
specific brand.
Version 1 19
48) People tend to be creatures of habit, and sexual criminals are no
exception. A serial rapist likely will use the same brand of condom to
commit repeated acts. Moreover, repeat offenders whose DNA profiles
have been stored in a computer data bank may be likely to use a condom
when committing subsequent crimes. Along with other aspects of his
modus operandi, traces from the same condom brand or manufacturer
found during several different investigations can help connect a suspect
to an entire series of assaults.
49) Rohypnol, also known as flunitrazepam, belongs to a class of drugs
called benzodiazepines. It produces a spectrum of effects similar to those
of diazepam (Valium), including skeletal muscle relaxation, sedation,
and a reduction in anxiety. Of these effects, the sedative and hypnotic
effects are the most important. Flunitrazepam is considered to be
approximately 8 to 10 times more potent than Valium. The effect or
"high" may last from 7 to 12 hours or longer after the dose. With pills or
"hits" readily available for prices ranging from $2 to 5, Rohypnol is
extremely sought-after. Street names include "roofies," "R-2s," "roach-
2s," "trip and fall," and "mind erasers."
This fast-acting drug can be ground into a powder and easily slipped into
food or drink. It can take effect within 30 minutes, and symptoms may
persist for up to 8 hours. Symptoms of Rohypnol intoxication include
sedation, dizziness, visual disturbances, memory impairment, and loss of
consciousness and motor coordination. These effects may be
compounded, and made potentially lethal, by alcohol. It is traceable in a
person's urine for 48 to 96 hours after ingestion and in blood for only 12
hours.
